based on what I'm reading here you would advocate giving up before you even got started
granted its a fine line but most people give up when they're nearly there kind of like the old saying its allways darkest before the dawn -----Original Message----- From: Ed Leafe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subj: [OT] No, Bush is the new Keating Date: Mon Jan 15, 2007 7:34 am Size: 1K To: ProFox Mailing List <profox@leafe.com> http://welcome-to-pottersville.blogspot.com/2007/01/paul-krugman- texas-strategy ( -or- http://tinyurl.com/yzdwkw ) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hundreds of news articles and opinion pieces have described President Bushs decision to escalate the Iraq war as a Hail Mary pass. But thats the wrong metaphor. Mr. Bush isnt Roger Staubach, trying to pull out a win for the Dallas Cowboys. Hes Charles Keating, using other peoples money to keep Lincoln Savings going long after it should have been shut down and squandering the life savings of thousands of investors, not to mention billions in taxpayer dollars, along the way. The parallel is actually quite exact. During the savings and loan scandal of the 1980s, people like Mr. Keating kept failed banks going by faking financial success. Mr. Bush has kept a failed war going by faking military success. The surge is just another stalling tactic, designed to buy more time. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
